San Diego Union Tribune, 15 Oct 2012 – Jan Goldsmith’s commentary ("Legalizing medical marijuana properly," Opinion, Oct. 11) is skewered with misleading facts and a "looks good on paper" federal solution to pot by requiring weed be sold to only people who are dying. Really? What about the 5,000-plus remainder of us who aren’t seriously ill or hospice bound? Do you think the 5,000-plus are going to stop smoking weed? Or will they revert back to the past of the street distribution network? How could someone with an education in law enforcement and politics be so obtuse and I mean imperceptive? Really. His is no solution. There will still be have and have-nots with marijuana. Nothing will change, except crime will go up.
